BANNS Ot THE MAIN, SEPT. 22.- -When SWUM secretly left Berlin with his corps, a Commission app muted to inquire into his crime, and the circuli,stances attending it. The inquiry is now ter- Minated, and the Commission pronounced for sen tence, that Major Scutta. shall be shot. But the officers who went with him are exempted from this junl,hment, because he told them he was authorised to this step, and as they were obliged to obey accord ing to the laws of military subordination; but all the officers who followed him afterwards, and then re turned, are to be arrested, and confined in fortresses for three months.—(Correspondent.) GOTTENRURGH MAIL. STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 29.—The conditions of the Peace lately concluded in Fredericksham have not yet transpired, nor is it likely that they will be known till the treaty is sanctioned by the ratification of the two high contracting parties. All the reports in circulation on the terms of pacification must there- there as yet be considered as v3gue rumours. COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 15.—The Morat Cur contains the following article from this City—" American ships continue immense supplies of Colonial pro duce, which cannot therefore but experience, ere long, a consi , lerabl e fall in the prices." The'itoni , teur has borrowed that information from the Journal d e Paris. But here in Copenhagen we know to the contrary, that the prices of all Colonial com modities have continually been on the rise since the war, with the sole exception of two exchange days, subsequent to the late revolution in Sweden. Ac cording to a letter from Milan of a recent date, the price of silk is very low, on account of the exporta tion of that article being still prohibited. Till the Marquis WELLESLEY'S determination is known, Earl BATHURST will take the Foreign De partment. The Earl of HARR9WBY remains at the Board of Contrail), and will besides discharge the d . tlies of the Presidency of the Board of Trade, dur ing Earl li,villtlltSfti continuance in the Foreign De partount.

" My Lottn, " Whidsof, Saturday, Sept. ij, iBo§. " The Duke 'of Portland having signified to his Majesty his intention of retiring from his Majesty's Service, in consequence of the state of his Grace's health, his Majesty has authorised Lord Liverpool, in conjunelion with myself, to communicate with your Lordship and Lord Grey, for the purpose of forming an extended and combined Administration. " I hope, therefore, that your Lordship, in con ecluence of this communication, will come to town, in order that as little time as possible may . be lost in forwarding this important object, and that you will have the goodness to inform me of your arrival, " I am also to acquaint your Lordship, that I have received his Majesty's commands to make a similar communication to Lord Grey of his Majesty's pleasure. " I think it proper to add, for your Lordship's information, that Lord Castlereagh and Mr. Secre , lay Canning have intimated their intentions to re sign their offices. I have the honour to be, &c. &c. (Signed) " SPENCER NRCOTAL.." ANSWER FROM EARL GREY. " SIR, " Howick, Sept. 26. " I have this evening had the honour of receiving your letter of the 23d, informing me, that in con sequence of the Duke of Portland's intention of re tiring from his Majesty's service, his Majesty had authorised you, in 'conjunction with the .Earl of Liverpool, to communicate with Lord Grenville and myself, for the purpose of forming an extended and combined Administration, and expressing a hope, that in consequence of this communicatioa I would go to town, in order that as little time as possible may be lust in forwarding this important object. " Had his Majesty been pleased to signify that he had any commands for me personally, I should not have lost a moment in shewing my duty and obedience, by a prompt attendance on his Royal pleasure. " But when it is proposed to me to communicate with his Mjesly's present Ministers, for the pur pose of forming a combined Administration with them, I feel that I should be wanting in duty to his Majesty, and in fairness to them, if I did not frankly and at once declare, that such an union is, with respect to me, under the present circumstances, impossible. This being the answer that I find my self under the necessity of giving, my appearance in London could be of no advantage, and might pos sibly at a moment like the present, be attended with some inconvenience. " I have thought it better to request, that you will have the goodness to lay my duty at the feet of his Majesty, humbly intreating him not to attribute to any 'want of attachment to his Royal Person, or to diintnished zeal for his service, my declining a communicatiozo which, on the terms proposed, could lead to t o usetul result, and which might be of se rious detriment to the country, if in consequence of a less decisive answer from me, any further delay should take place in the formation of a settled Go verument., I am, &c. (Signed) a GR p.t." FIRST ANSWER FROM LORD GRENVILLE. "SIR, " Boconnoc, Sept. 25, ISeg. " I have the honour to acknowledge your letter of the 23d instant, and understanding it as an offi cial signification of his Majesty's pleasure for my attendance in town, I shall lose no time in repairing thither, in humble obedience to his Majesty's com mands. " I must beg leave to defer until my arrival al observations on the other matters to which yourlet , ter relates. I have, &c. (Signed) " GRENVILLE." SECOND ANSWER FROX LORD GRENVILLE. ." SIR, ' Sept. 29, 184E9. " Having last night arrived here, i n humble obe dience to his Majesty's commands, I think it now my duty to lose no titne in expressing to you the necessity under which I feel myself of declining the communication proposed in your letter; being satisfied that it could not, under the circumstances here mentioned, be productive of any public ad vantage. I trust I need not say, that this opinion is neither founded in any sentiment of personal hosti lity, nor in a desire of unnecessarily prolonging po litical differences. " To Compose, not to inflame the divisions of the Empire has always been my anxious wish, and is now more than ever the duty of every loyal sub ject ; but my accession to the existing_ Administra tion could, I am confident, in no respect contri bute to this object; nor could it, 1 think, be con sidered in any other light than as a dereliction of public principle. " This answer, which I must have given to any such proposal, if made while the Government was yet entne, cannot be varied by the retreat of some of its Members. " My objections are not personal—they apply to the principle of the Government itself, and to the circumstances which attended its appointment. I have now, therefore, only to request, that you will do me the honour of submitting, in the most respectful terms, these my humble opinions to his Majesty, accompanied by the dutiful and sincere assurance of my earnest desire at all times to testify, by such means as are in my power, my un wearied zeal for his Majesty's service. I have, &c. (Signed) " GRENVILLE." LETTER PROM MR. PERCEVAL TO LORD GRENVILLE. " LORD, " Sept 29, 1809, " I lost no time in communicating to Lord Liver pool your Lordship's letter of this day. • " It is with great concern that we have learnt `from it, that your Lordship feels yourself under the necessity of declining the communication which I have had the honour to propose. " In propo,ing to your Lordship and Lord Grey, under his Majesty's authority, to communicate with ;..ord Limpool and myself, not for the accession of COYEAT-GARDEN THEATRE. We congratulate the Public on the probability of a termination of those disturbances which have so long disgraced the metropolis at this place. The Comic Opera of The Woodman was brought forward last night, and the first two aids were heard with at tention, and some of the gongs were encored.—A person in the Gallery attempted to excite discon tent, but the general feeling of the audience was against him, and he was soon removed. The Per formers received a kind greeting as they severally appeared ; they were evidently much gratified at this unexpected tranquility, and exerted themselves with the utmost zeal, in order to confirm the paci fic sentiments that seemed to charaCterize the au dience. At length, however, on the termination of the second a&, a multitude of Tersons, who came in at half-price, speedily produced a revolution, and the same scene of turbulence was renewed, except that there were not the usual instruments of an- noyance. The confusion and uproar were BO general during the last a& of the Opera and the whole of the Farce (The Village Lawyer), that nothing could be heard of what passed on the Stage. The clamour, how ever, was chiefly of the vocal kind, and, considering the pacific character of the audience previous to the irruption of the half-price malcontents, as well as the nature of the clamour raised by the latter, we have reason to hope that our great national amuse ment will fully regain its ascendancy o❑ the public mind, and a Theatre, which is an ornament of the i country, soon become the vehicle of morality, hu mour, and edification, by a due ridicule of vice and folly, and an impressive illustration of the misery Iwhich generally attends on wickedness and guilt. The late Mr. WINTHROP, whose death we men tioned yesterday, was one of the Directors of the Bank of England, and had served the office of Go vernor. He was so long and so highly respected for his extensive commercial, and general knowledge, his inflexible integrity, and the equanimity of his temper, that his, death is sincerely lamented by a wide circle of friends and acquaintance, as well as by his connections. toiash'ip _to the present Aurninisera ioa; huh for thi piiipae of forming a combined and ettendea AdMiniltration; no idea existed in Our taindS Of `ttii: necessity 61 any.dereliEtion Of pUblie principle bit either side.

CORK, OCT. 4. \k'e are 'sorry to find that a Spirit of disorder and insubordination has began to be - rnanifebted in the neighbourhood df Lisheen arid Thutles; a district which hitherto has been remarkable for the peace able aemeanour of its inhabitants. Some evening's *ince a party attacked the house of Lyster, who keeps a small lon at the Horse and Jockey, and rob bed him of his arms. They then proceeded to the house of John R. Bradshaw; Esq. near Grallagh, and on entering the house one of the party immediately fired 'mottle parlour where they supposed Mr: Brad; shaw was. He was in another part of the .house; but Mrs. B. who was sitting reading in the parlour 1 ad a most providential escape, a ball having grazed her arm, without doing any further injury: The ruffians immediately atter fled. On Monday last, a gentleman, resident in Cahir, on his return to that town from near Tipperary, was stopped about a mile from Cahir by a single man armed with a blunderbuss; who robbed him ot welve guineas. We are much concerned that in Stating the death of Lieutenant BATESON, who unfortunately died in consequence of eating nuts, we *aid the name wag BARTON.

The late Earl of Coirentry was ceiebiated, about balfa century past, for possessing at the same 14114 the . most lovely wile (ci-devarit Miss Gunning) and the most captivating mistress in Kitsy Fisbef that the British dominions at that time could afford. Mr. O'KaEFE, to whom the stage is indebted for many lively and eccentric produetions, and who ha♦ been blind for nearly twenty years, haS recovered his sight. During a violent tempest on Tuesday se"nnight, the ship Clyde, Capt. JACKLING, a regular Mader from London to Boston, struck on a sand-bank oh the Norfolk coast, off Wells, and was entirely week ed. All on board, except one person, perilhed..i-a Amongst the sufferers a ere a female passenger and her infant at the breast. A few days ago, as a party of Gentlerrien were shooting in the neighbourhood of Croydon, they on a sudden lost a favourite pointer, and could not itnal gine what had become of it, till Saturday last ) when the poor creature was found by a shepherd at tub bottom of a chalk-pit, nearly forty teet deep; and though much emaciated, was taken up alive, aft, r having been there five days, with nothing to subsist on but chalk. Monday night about ten o'clock, as Mr. Hewitt, of Sloane-square, was returning home, he was met in the King's-road, Chelsea, by a single po"tpad, who, presenting a pistol to his breast ; demanded his money, and having robbed bun df a valuable gold watch, and what money he had about him, made off across the fields towards Pimlico. Another robbery of a similar nature was committed the same night, about eight o'clock, by a fellow in a mask, on Chelsea Common. At Snaradiatke, a bathing-place in Moravia, died lately, the Howard of Austria, Count VON &BCH.. BOLD, a victim of his humane efforts. He travelled in Europe for 13 years, and four years in Asia and Africa, in order to become acquainted with the hap piness and wretchedness of mankind, and every where to promote the 'former, and mitigate the lat ter. He was the founder of the IVloravian Humane Society, and of the Establishment of Preservation at Prague and Brunn. Not one hour of his life passed unprofitably. At this period he had converted his fine Castle of Buchlowitz, in Moravia, into an hospital for sick and wounded Austrians, in attend ing whom he caught an epidemic fever, which ter- ' Initiated his life. Saturday a most shocking accident happened Leachlade : as Mr. Wm. ;l'ombs and Mr. Thornag Barr were shooting together, Mr. Barr's toot struck against the stump of a tree; by the shock his gun unfortunately exploded, the contents of which passed through the body of Mr. Tombs, which de prived him of life instantly.
